I've been playing the original harvest moon: a wonderful life lately. I just like raw grittiness of the game before they removed a lot of the real life aspects from it.
Anyway, the reason why I'd choose this is because I would get to raise my own animals (obviously) while also surviving on nearly nothing but mugwort weed on your farm while still looking muscular. I'll have the option of choosing a beautiful wife, and living off the grid. Harvest moon has a way of making life way more whimsical than it really is.
And this harvest moon in particular is very quirky. Example: you essentially need to eat a mushroom (shrooms?) in order to get into the harvest sprite tree - I mean if that isn't a good time idk what is.
